This could be funny to my European friends. I could not figure out what a LQ was. Seems it is a "long quarter." In other words, a quarter yard of fabric. I also wondered what "wadding" (batting) was. Great patterns, but I had to "translate" before starting the project.
I just googled "quilting abbreviations" and came up with several sites. But you are right . . . it's a whole 'nuther lingo." Hope you enjoy quilting!!
